Some people are overdosing from certain products marketed for weight loss, federal health officials are warning.
The FDA has received reports of dosing errors involving compounded semaglutide injectable products dispensed in multiple-dose vials, resulting in patients seeking medical attention or requiring hospitalization, the agency stated.
Dosing errors came as a result of people measuring and self-administering incorrect amounts, and health care providers miscalculating doses of the cheaper, compounded versions of weight-loss drugs like Wegovy, the agency said Friday in an alert.

Incorrect dose calculations have resulted in patients administering 5 to 10 times more of the medication than drugmakers intended.
